zfs is pretty awesome.

Ha, just realized I originally replied to this thread like 3 years ago.

I agree with flickerfly's recommendation for Gentoo as a good way to learn. Although I'd say once you have it isntalled, take it off. :) I run Debian on all the servers I manage (that I can get changed over), although I'm still managing a CentOS box and a few Suse boxes. On my desktop I'm running a ...

The windows machines will act as servers in your case.

lol, yeah, you'll never find any gentoo users that are zealots...

Yeah, I figured it was something like that

Someone might be able to answer me this though, what is the point with srpms?

Stella is good, Ididn't realize they made it in cans though.

I tried to home brew and it tasted nasty.... that could be because I had to stick my arm in to grab one of the little o-rings that fell in .

No your missing it... it's all done, it's installed. An rpm is already compiled, and all it does is put hte files where they need to be. The files are on your system in their default installation place, try doing 'updatedb' as root, then 'locate vnc' and you will find it.

yep, it worked. Now you read the documentation on how vnc works... .

I have never used it, so I wouldn't know.

Did you download a binary package or source?

Once it's installed, just image the computer you wan't to copy, and make that available for (nearly) identical computers to pull down and install from.

Well I imagine they have existing computers that have this already right? I would hope all the pages are on one directory... if not you will need something like a perl script or something to crawl it and copy each page to a directory, then maybe change the urls to fit the new schema. Might I suggest...

So you are saying this homepage is supposed to be local to each machine? And you need to get these files and put them on the linux machine?

Yeah clamav is supposed to be the biggie. You really don't need it on the linux desktops though.
